We all have to start somewhere and you I think are in a similar situation as myself. Just reaching a point where there are no other options but to take action. I guess it was just the stark comparison to where I used to be and where I am now. I mean, I could run a mile in 5 hours now if I wanted to, but I aim to change that. Who knows, maybe we both can pull off Dunsters as you put it.

I think the big thing with Weigh Watchers is the accountability. Its the thought of showing up there an knowing you did not stay on track and having to answer for it. I believe in being honest with myself, even if its brutal. Id rather say heres where you're at, this is what got you there, what are you going to do about it? Couple that with the thought of coming here and saying you know what, I sluffed off all week and I just dont care anymore and then facing everyone with that attitude. Yeah, most would be polite and tactful, but its the lasting image I leave with that statement. The image they walk away with of myself. The though in their mind, theres the guy who cant stick with what he started. That spills over if I say Im going to do something else to help them out or a project. "Yeah, okay, isnt he the guy who just up and quit on his own plans and goal?". See my point?

I hate sleeping. Dont ask me why, I dont know how I developed that mentality. But I just decided to get over it and make time to do what I needed. Go to bed earlier, wake up earlier and get it done before the day starts because if I wait until the day gets started, then it becomes I was too busy, I didnt have time, I had so much to do, etc. Getting up that early avoids that and its really peaceful at that time. Not a lot of cars, people or much of anything around. Me and the wife can talk, walk the dog and get a work out. I even got up early on Saturday, the day I usually sleep in really late.

Ive lived long enough trying to protect my personal time and doing nothing with it, time to make use of it finally.
